As a master, the ION8800 can aggregate data from multiple slave devices and then pass it to ION software for analysis. Modbus Master also gives you control of devices on a Modbus network with the meter’s write capability.
There are two communication links to consider when you Modbus Master with the ION8800: the link between the ION software and the ION8800, and the link between the ION8800 and the Modbus network. What’s New in v334
With Modbus Master over TCP/IP, you can enter up to ten unique IP addresses that belong to Modbus devices you want to master via the ION8800.
